See Me Home

G              D           G
I don’t need a moon that’s full
                       D           Em
To feel its curse, its weight, its pull
    G                C    G
And I don’t need the riverbed
                   D       G
To push my dreams above my head
    C                G       Am7
And I don’t need the falling day
   G              F          C
To find me on the floor this way
      Em               G     A
Where reason turns its face away
    Am               G
But I might need you soon
   D      G   C G
To see me home
 
G                    D      G
I don’t know how the rising tide
                         D        Em
Has crawled my knees and found my side
G                   C        G
I don’t know how it knows my name
                       D     G
Or the reaching shadow of my frame
  C                   G       Am7
I don’t know why it’s come to call
    G                F        C
And steals the color from the wall
     Em                 A7
Then sweeps us both out in the hall
      Am                 G
But I know I’ll need you soon
   D      G   C G
To see me home
 
 
[Chorus]
C    D  Em
Take my hand
C                   G
Walk me through the valley
C    D    G             C
I’ll fear not, with the sun to warm my face
      D     Em
There we’ll stand
       C                 G
In the light of all that shall be
        Am7      D
Knowing home has never been a place
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                  D    G
Something has come over me
                D       Em
Rolled a stone away and free
G                  C      G
Scratched a word into the sand
                          D     G
With something still here in my hand
               C       G       Am
It’s something neither you nor I
      G                F           C
While dark has slipped beneath the skies
     Em                    A7
It’s lit a lamp behind our eyes
      Am                 G
And I know I’ll need you soon
   D      G
To see me home
